performances prematurely. Some cars
| of John RObinsOn's circus and MENACE
RE outfit were being switched on TO
track at st. Louis for winter quarters at
| Cincinnati, when a car flew the track
and q Bengal tiger. two liOns, a leopard,
| jaguar. an ibex and q vulture escaped.
There WAS sheOl to pay. One canvas
man WAS killed and two other circus
men we're worse used up than they ever
were In a regulation shindy with the
city toughs. The police gave the word
to stampede and set the example
promptly. The leopard did not change
his spots but he made spots on rash
volunteer who wished to gather glory
by his capture and left him such lega-
cy as he will remember until the calf
heals and perhaps later. The whole
gang of escaped varmints were finally
captured and peace reigned In the big
bridge city.
The cOroner's jury in the case of the
victims of the steamer Vernon, find that
the steamer was very Degligently in
spected, that she had no cork life-pre-
servers, as provided by law, and was
deficient in other required particulars,
and they recommend the arrest and trial
OF the man who last inspected her.
This act of the cOrOner's jury Is very
sensible one, and 1t is greatly to be de-
sired that it be rendered effective by
prompt action on the part OF the Wis
consin authorities. There is danger
enough at all times attending the navi-
CATION OF the upper lakes, and In the
fall of the year that danger Ia materially
increased. Those who are compelled
to be upon these perilous waters,
whether as passengers or seamen, should
not be unnecessarily exposed to immi-
nent danger on account OF the
criminal oarelessness of steam
boat inspectors, or the par
simOny of steamboat owners. The most
sensational stories are RflOat to the
effect, among other things, that the life
preseTVers were mere cases stuffed with
dried grass and that the vessel was in
her construction mere death-trap. Re-
ports are also circulated OF the most
heartless inhumanity on the part OF the
officers of the EsCanaba steamer, al ore
carrier, who are said to have passed
right through groups Ofthe shipwreCked
passengers and sailors who were cling
ing to the RATS. and made not the
slightest effort TO save them. Ii is not to
be credited that such inhumsn disregard
of the cries of shipwreCked men and
women was exhibited, and 1t will need
confirmation by very strong proof be-
fore il is accepted as fact. The storm in
which the Vernon went down was prob
ably the heaviest ever experienced on
the lake.

AS was predicted at the opening OF
the building season, the railway con-
struction OF this year has been uOprece-
dentedly great. In the ten months, clos
ing Nov. ], there have been laid 9,4OS
miles of track. Kansas leads the
country having nearly double the miles
to her credit that have been constructed
in any other state. She reports i,OSO
miles this year Notwithstanding the
great lead she had last year. Nebraska
comes second with SG7 miles and Texas
is a good third with SSI miles. These

struction Of the country. Texas Is evil

NOT DESTINED TO IMPROVE.


Those who are looking for any mate
rial improvement in the prices OF bread
stuils in this country lose sight OF two
facts; the steady increase In the wheat
crop of Egypt and India, supplying
year by year a much larger proportion
of the Old World demands; and, the i'm
mense increase In the wheat production
OF this county, which far Outruns all
demands at home and could, If the way
were opened, glut the market Of Europe.
The vast wheat region lying between
the Mississippi and theROcky Mountains
has increased its population from five
and half million In 1870 to thirteen
millions in 1887. In 1870 this section
produced 5l,Sl0,OO0 bushels Of wheat; in
1880, 1330S2,3l9; and in 1887, 49,
OG5, 900 bushels. The increase in the
production of wheat from 1850 to 1856
WAS 80 80 per cent, and from 1870 to 1880
the Increase was 81 ,272 ,3l9 bushels, or
1856 per cent. The per capita produce
ton of wheat in the region indicated
was 9.19 bushels in 1870, l4.16 in 1880,
and about l3. 40 In 1856.
The area covered by wheat crop in
1856 was a. 1924 acres; average yield
per acre, 1886 bushels. The seed for
this acreage would be, according to es-
timation, Is, s32 275 bushels. The con-
sumption of the 100000 population
for food added to this amount for seed
ing, would take 7S,64s, 1888 bushels, and
this deduction from the whole produce
ton would leave 96,4G,Ol2 bushels for
shipment. This makes no account of
the California crop, or OF the crop cast
OF the Mississippi. The simple fact is
that the United States can supply the
bread for the world, and as other pro-
duoing sections, where labor is cheap,
are engaging largely in the cultivation
of wheat, the continued low price of this
cereal may be accepted as a settled fact.

to render more Intense the deathless
hate Of all freedom loving citizens ofthe
United Kingdom to the expressions
which have grown into being under the
spur and stimulus OF England's ancient
hate Of her former rival. Gladstone feels
growing confidence In the ultimate
triumph OF the Irish cause by the en-
frsnchisement Of the English masses
themselves. The people themselves, the
pOpulaCe, the masses, these love liberty.
AS fast as any nation tastes the
sweets OF freedom in the
larger liberty OF its own people so
surely do those people sympathize with
their neighbOrs under oppression, and
all possible aid is extended them. En-
reimbursement of any one part of the
British kingdom means greater liberty
and ultimate Acknowledgement for all
other sections. The two million house
holders, eniranChised by the Gladstone
government. mean an enfranchised ma
ton in the near future. Ireland must
share the liberties which Englishmen
enjoy. No power on earth can prevent
this and sagaoiOus Englishmen see this.
Those who oppose greater liberty for
Ireland, and home rule for her people,
must do battle against any increase
of franchise privilege in England and
Scotland and Wales. All this attempted
repression will be in vain. The index
finger OF progress on the dial OF events
points to the hour, almost come, when in
Great Britain the voice OF the people
will be law. That voice will speak the
real emancipation of Ireland.

Entertaining Guests.

Young married people are apt to become careless about their social duties, says 8 writer in Harper's Bazaar. This is especially the case when they have little children about them to absorb their thoughts and leisure The habit of staying home once gained is not easily broken, and on this account it should not be fostered. Ones home should be the happiest spot in the world, but it's inmates should not refuse to go out into the world occasionally, nor neglect inviting their friends to their own freside in return. Housekeeping youth have ever homely wits," and the rust gathers fast on the intellect and conversational powers that are not kept bright by friction with others. The practice of asking two or three people to lunch or dinner every week is to be commended. The expense and trouble will be slight, and will pay for them- selves in the pleasure gained by both hosts and guests.
 A little experience in entertaining will be needed by the housewife before she and her maid adapt themselves entirely to the duty. Preliminary study of the courses of 8 meal is sometimes necessary that the silver may not give out at an awkward moment, and that the plates that have to be washed between
 
 the ice cream. Few young housekeepers have sufficient amount of silver and china to go through course dinner without having to wash those used in the early part of the dinner, that they may do duty later in the meal. Even if the waitress is exception ally clear headed, it is prudent to write out the bill of fare clearly, and pin the sheet of paper in prominent spot in the kitchen or pantry. The description of the china to be used should accompany the name of the course with which it belongs, and the place should be designated where the dishes that are to be used again must be washed.
 Usually, good servants make very little objection to company. The mistress is much more likely to have their cooperation if she manifests consideration in her choice of the time she selects for inviting them. No maid will be amiab1e who is obliged to stop in the midst of her washing or ironing to cook an elaborate company din- ner, nor will she relish having her ''after- noon out" taken as the one on which her mistress gives a reception. If this par- ticular day must be chosen, she should be allowed the outing of which she is thus deprived at some other time, instead of being obliged to relinquish it altogether.
